In the 2025-2026 season, Nam Dinh Steel Club will face many challenges when competing in 4 arenas: V.League, National Cup, Southeast Asian Cup C1 and AFC Champions League Two.
Assessing the situation of the new V.League season, coach Vu Hong Viet said that his team will face many difficulties in the journey to defend the championship.

Through contracts or quality foreign players, it can be seen that many teams invest in quality with high goals.
Hanoi FC has a long tradition of winning championships, and The Cong Viettel also invested heavily. I personally highly appreciate Hanoi Police, this will be a candidate with great potential to win the championship.
The Ninh Binh FC team has just been promoted but also has quality contracts. In addition, Ho Chi Minh City Police also invested heavily in the new season. These are opponents that we must overcome if we want to successfully defend the championship, said Mr. Viet.

Nam Dinh Steel Blue did not have a satisfactory start when they had to accept defeat against Hanoi Police in the National Super Cup match. Coach Vu Hong Viet said that this defeat helped the home team at Thien Truong Stadium look out the bad points to gradually overcome.
To prepare for the new season, the defending V.League champion has brought in many quality players. Notably, there was a striker 2 meters tall - Kyle Hudlin, who scored a double against Hanoi Police in his official debut match.
With a strong squad, Nam Dinh Steel Blue is still expected to be one of the strong candidates for the V.League and National Cup championship race.
